If you’ve got a computer or a phone, you’re almost certainly being tracked. Picking and choosing which entity is tracking you seems masturbatory.
It absolutely costs a lot. Google also has a borderline monopoly for online advertising.
That’s on top of absolutely harvesting your data and selling it as well. You’re acting like Google is a non-profit or some shit. They’re a giant corporation that doesnt give a shit about you.
I say this as someone with a google phone and generally likes Google products. But you’ve got to take a step back and realize what they are.
Ads are going to pay for it either way.
I’m all for paying for value but what are you getting? Especially if you’re watching on a computer.
